The RUSTICA project aims to develop and validate regional business models centered on the production and use of bio-based fertilisers derived from organic waste, along with innovative soil improvement technologies designed to enhance soil health and fertility while promoting nutrient recycling within local ecosystems.
By emphasizing regional value chains and integrating insights from stakeholders across five diverse regions—Almería, Flanders, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Pays de la Loire, and Valle del Cauca—RUSTICA seeks to create tailored solutions that effectively address the unique agricultural and environmental challenges faced in each area.
